[AccessD] Hyperlink in Access

To quote an old pro (may be familiar to NRA types): "You can have my Access 97 help file when you pry it from my cold dead hard drive!"

Good tip Marty.  I keep my shortcut to this on top of the Start Menu.

Note to non-US listers - NRA = National Rifle Association

I cheat, even on systems where I have only Access 2003, I reuse the old 
97 help files.

I also have desktop shortcuts to the adosql.chm and XMLsdk.chm 
ado260.chm etc.  help files.
Then when in access I just do a WinKey-M keystroke to get to the desktop.
This keystroke just miminizes all open windows.

The best bet for vba coding help is to retain the Access 97 help files
and access via a desktop shortcut.
You need all the .HLP, .AW, .CNT, .GID, and .FTG files from access97
that are installed in
Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office
Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared
Zip them up for later installs elsewhere into a new directory

 run a shortcut to ACMAIN80.HLP

There is a way to put this on your command menus in Access via a button

=Shell("C:\WINDOWS\winhlp32.exe C:\msoffice97\office\Acmain80.hlp", 1)
